Diss Carnival Procession, Diss, Norfolk - 21st June 2009
It's the Diss Carnival, and there's a procession through the town followed by stalls and activities up at the football club, home of the Tangerines. Before that, we're at Amandines café for a bit to eat, and there's some Morris dancing occuring on the Market Place.
